Mary Attends Summer TCA Panel
Mary had a busy day today promoting for the first time her upcoming PBS TV show, Mercy Street. The six-part miniseries follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the war — New England abolitionist Mary Phinney (Winstead) and Confederate supporter Emma Green (Hannah James) — and is inspired by memoirs and letters from real doctors and nurses from that time. It takes place in a luxury hotel-turned hospital in Alexandria, Virginia — the longest occupied confederate town during the war — and explores those struggling to save lives while managing their own hardships.
Head to the gallery to check out the new pics as well as a new photoshoot!
Mercy Street debuts Sunday, January 17 at 10 PM following Episode 3 of Downton Abbey’s final season.

Mary to Appear on ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’; Alex of Venice Headed to Netflix
As the title reads, I have two bits of information regarding Mary. First up, one of the new film releases for Netflix in August will be that the streaming service will now be playing Mary’s latest film, Alex of Venice. In case you never caught the film when it opened in limited release, Alex of Venice follows the story of a workaholic attorney (Winstead) who is forced to reinvent her life after her husband suddenly leaves.
The film itself was great, so if you have Netflix, look out for it on August 15th when it debuts.
In other news, next Thursday on August 6, Mary will be appearing on IFC’s Comedy Bang! Bang!
No pictures have been released yet, but stay tuned for that. As for the episode description, it says Mary celebrates her birthday…even though (if I remember correctly), she filmed her episode back in March.
Nonetheless, stay tuned for screencaps from that episode! 🙂 Should be fun.
